Also Know, why is lumber smaller than the size it says? Maybe youve noticed that lumber sizes are often misleading. The nominal cross-section dimensions of a piece of lumber, such as 2 X 4 or 1 X 6, are always somewhat larger than the actual, or dressed, dimensions. The reason is that dressed lumber has been surfaced or planed smooth on four sides (called S4S).
